Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Hybrid Theory ❯ One Step Closer ( Chapter 2 )

Priestess: I haven't updated for a while…This isn't quite as angsty as the first chapter (or maybe I just think that because I prefer Yu-Gi-Oh murdering Yugi and his friends to Bakura murdering Yugi and Ryou) but it does have bashing and murder.

I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I said before

Yu-Gi-Oh thought he would go insane if he had to speak another word of Yugi's endless blabber. Friendship this and teamwork that, blah-blah-blahbety-blah, he thought as those words escaped his lips. They've heard it already! Just shut the hell up already!

All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance

He didn't even know what they were saying-he probably didn't want to. Only two words went through his head over and over again-shut up shut up shut up.

Less I hear the less you say
You'll find that out anyway

And look at all of his friends, drinking up this crap as if he was some kind of god! It was bad enough that Yugi was talking like this, did he have to make him repeat this bullshit?

Just like before…

In Egypt, he could simply behead anyone who bugged him like Yugi did. But he couldn't behead a guy who lived in the same body as he did!

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

Yugi's words bore into his head, making it ache. Would his hurt that much if it were cut off? Somehow, he doubted it highly.

Those were cruel thoughts he was thinking, and he knew that they were cruel thoughts, but he continued to think them nonetheless.

I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

I have three Millennium Items, can't they help? he wondered.

Maybe they could, maybe they couldn't. It wouldn't hurt to try, though-the surprise might shut Yugi up, for a little while at least.

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear

Or it might make him talk even more.

All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance

Were these his thoughts? This was a boy who he shared his body with, the boy who had cared about him as his other half, the boy who he had been through so much with.

Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again

Shut up…

Just like before…

Just shut the fuck up…

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

God, this is so fucking annoying…is all that that spiky-haired little midget ever does is talk?

Yu-Gi-Oh blinked. Had those been his thoughts? No. They mirrored his thoughts almost completely, but the voice was different from his own.

I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

God, what I wouldn't give to just murder him…If it weren't for that Ra-be-damned Pharaoh I would murder all of them…

He recognized that voice now!

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

Please do, he thought, surprising himself-and evidently the only one who seemed to share his frustration, because the angry mutters turned into pure silence.

At last, one word came up: What?

I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

Kill them, he thought fiercely. Kill each and every one of them so I don't have to listen to him talk anymore. Dammit, just kill them before I go mad!

The voice didn't believe him. Oh well. He knew how to prove it to him.

Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up, shut up, shut up!

Grabbing the Rod, he unsheathed it and slashed at Katsuya Jonouchi.

I'm about to break!

Blood flowed from the gash, splashing him. He licked it off and smiled at the coppery tang, and something inside him snapped.

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

Yugi fell on the ground. He stared first at the corpse of his best friend, and then at his somehow-solid other half. And then he screamed.

He screamed and screamed as if he would never stop.

I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

Yu-Gi-Oh frowned at the noise and thrust the Rod deep into his former aibou's throat, and blood bubbled soundlessly from the wound.

Yugi would never make his annoying speeches again.

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

His new partner had obviously been convinced by his little show, for Yu-Gi-Oh twice heard the lovely sound of cold metal slicing warm flesh, both followed by a scream and a thud.

Bakura smirked at the former Pharaoh, standing above the corpses of Honda and Anzu. "I'm impressed, Pharaoh. I didn't know you had it in you."

Yu-Gi-Oh smirked back, kicking Honda aside so he was face-to-face with the much taller man. He knew the former Thief would be much easier to spend eternity with then than those idiots-he didn't talk as much, and Yu-Gi-Oh could actually relate to what he would talk about.

This would work out just fine. "I know. But there's I guess only so much a person can take, and those imbeciles just had to push me to the edge."

I'm about to break!
